Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I've "inherited" a Dell Inspiron 3200 at the office on the condition I get it working. It was having trouble recognizing PCMCIA cards. I've loaded FreeBSD 3.1 and spent the day pounding my head against a brick wall trying to figure out what is wrong. I've built and rebuilt the kernel with apm, card0 etc. pccardd complains that there are no pc-card slots. pccardc says 0 slots and the /dev/card0 is not configured. During boot up, the kernel sees pcic0 and pcic1, but the irq's are 255 (so's the usb device). I'm ready to test the aerodynamics of this thing from a tall building...
